Bits and bits!

I lost a follower today.

I didn't attend the concert in Alexandria, but I am attending the one here in Cairo!! It's tomorrow at the Sawy Culturewheel in Zamalek for all those who are in Cairo. Please come! Concert is at 8 pm.

I have met the guys- briefly (Autostrad band from Jordan) and it was the first time for me to meet any Jordanians... I wanted to ask how different it was to live under monarchical rule but thought it would be very awkward of me. To just randomly ask that.

So yes, I know all I write about now is university stuff- but I got my study questions today and....UHHH I have a ton of readings to do for my economics final.

I need the proper credits for this! here

I'll be back to proper posting after the 20th, yay? January is almost here!!! Liz is coming! Oh so very excited!

Relationship Question: is age just a number? What about religion....and nationality? Values, culture and beliefs?

Bullets!

• I am almost entirely disconnected from the internet world...well apart from my farm..on farmville that is- not ashamed to admit that!!
• I have a final on the 20th and a paper to submit on the 19th. My thoughts? I am scared. Because I want As...I am scared. Very, very scared.
• But my uncle Steve reminded me today- that you are in control of your own happiness.."remember Godot" he said! I have a very wise family, you see! I have 3200 words to write in a week...doable?
• I miss going out with my friends.
• I miss my blog. I miss you, fellow bloggers! 
• I have one Christmas card left to send.
• I miss Alexandria. I've had grilled fish two days in a row today!

beautiful Alexandria- my own photo.

How is everyone? Let me know!! I need your good luck wishes...I do.

Because it is all a puzzle afterall

Meet my best friend... Menna . New to the blogging world.

I don't know if you can tell- or if I can tell for that matter- how and why we're best friends. It just is. You know things that just are?

Yes, it just is.

I've been very busy with uni work. And it's very, very hectic- but I procrastinate...a lot. I've also been busy adjusting to the fact that my father now lives with us. It's a bit weird. And a bit of a burden to be honest. Because it's one more person at the top of the hierarchy but it's okay. He's my father and I love him.

I've been mistaken for my mother in one of the photos of her as an 18 year old (maybe) and it was a serious shock for me. I know I look like my mother's side of the family- but not like my mother!

I am obviously craving salmon maki....and sashimi. The boyfriend has this big concert today with a Jordanian band who I am very looking forward to meet!!! I'll get him to post about it here (to make up for my lack of posting)

that's the event's poster...

Is it just my account that won't let me upload pictures through URLs?

My Sister

As a thirteen year old, I think I wanted clothes and CDs for my birthday and maybe a book or two. My sister is such an airhead!

We're forcing her to read (Twilight...) My other sister and I  (we're the older two of the bunch) are going to buy her the books...instead of Jonas brothers blah blah.

Thirteen is such an awkward age.

I am sorry about my last post..

How is everyone counting down till Christmas? I should be sending my cards today :)

Changes

Emotional times.

We visited my late grandfather's best friend on Sunday; such a great man...a great man who has so many interests and has witnessed a lot of changes and achieved a lot of things. This 70-something man cried. He cried when I told him he reminded me of his best friend, my best friend- my grandfather :)

Boyfriend issues have been solved. I hope for good.

I felt lonely. Scared. Scarred. Cold. Angry. I felt longing for the days when my grandfather was around. I felt hatred. Towards many things.

My therapy? Just anyone to tell me it's going to be okay. And my favourite bookshop.

I felt like I hated this body that I am stuck in. Like it didn't belong to me. No one asked me before I woke up to find this...I was perfectly normal. And suddenly...curves. Boobs and thighs and a round bottom...could someone have just asked? I would have prepared myself for that. I know it's strange for a twenty-two year old to say that- given that the day I am talking about was almost ten years ago...

I had to let this out. I hope you are having better days.

TODAY WAS JEN'S BIRTHDAY! Happy birthday beautiful :)

oh and my dad comes home today.
